Celebrating Women in AR/VR’s 3rd Birthday

Women in AR/VR

If you aren’t yet acquainted with Women in AR/VR, we’ll introduce you!

Women in AR/VR (WIARVR) is an Australian-based initiative that inspires, empowers, and celebrates women in AR/VR. With the industry “predicted to be worth $120bn by 2020” WIARVR is equipping women with knowledge and skills through regular meetups and events.

Devika Attends WIARVR’s 3rd Birthday

The Devika team, including Ken Kencevski, Bek Kencevski, and Bradd Grimson, headed to the WIARVI event to hear from an exceptional panel of speakers, see the AR/VR showcases, and celebrate the company’s three years of success.

We even took our virtual reality experiences to the event for people to try, including our products Kolb and Evenness.

Leading the virtual reality demonstration, Bek shared;

“It’s great to see how just how inclusive the emerging technology community is to women…Showcasing the different accomplishments of some amazing women within this space was inspirational for everyone and highlighted the importance for women to find ways to collaborate on exciting and different projects of interest.”

A Personal Note From Devika

Trying to build traction in the tech industry can be a difficult process. Having recently turned three ourselves, we can testify that having people rally behind your business and support you goes a long way.

Similarly to WIARVR, we envision a future where people who are passionate about AR and VR are supported in their ventures, no matter their gender. WIARVR couldn’t be more supportive of this vision as they work to achieve equality and diversity in the tech industry.
